The Cleveland Browns finally
traded Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers yesterday, just under four months after
acquiring embattled QB Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans.
The Browns drafted Mayfield number one overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. Through four years his play, along with the rest of the Browns, was up and down, finishing with a record of 30-30 and going 1-1 in the playoffs. While these numbers may not jump off the page, it’s still a marked improvement for Cleveland, as they’ve produced some of the worst football in the NFL over the last couple of decades.
Yet, somehow, it never seemed like all three parties involved – the players, the coaches, the front office – were ever on the same page at the same time.
